More AWESOME reasons to book your Algarve villa this week

A summer villa holiday in the Algarve already comes with plenty to look forward to: slow mornings by the pool, long lunches in the sunshine and warm evenings that seem to stretch on forever.

For one week only, we’re adding a few more lovely reasons to make it happen.

Book an eligible SandyBlue exclusive property between 13 and 20 July 2026, for a stay taking place in July or August 2026, and your holiday will include breakfast at your villa by Soulfood, a complimentary transfer and the opportunity to enter our boat trip competition.

Breakfast is taken care of 

There’s something particularly good about the first morning of a villa holiday.

The cases have been unpacked, the out-of-office is firmly on and the only real decision is whether to start the day at the table or beside the pool.

With this offer, you’ll enjoy a freshly prepared, ready-to-eat breakfast hamper at your property by Soulfood. It’s an easy, delicious start to the day, without anyone needing to find the nearest supermarket or volunteer to cook.

We’ll confirm the details and arrange the breakfast with you ahead of your stay.

A smoother start to your holiday

Getting from one place to another should be the easy part, so eligible bookings will also receive a complimentary transfer.

You can choose between an airport transfer or an in-resort transfer, subject to the size of your group, availability and the applicable journey limits.

Whether it means being collected after landing at Faro Airport or having transport arranged for a special lunch, dinner or day out during your stay, our team will help you select the option that works best for your holiday.

Tell us why you’d love a boat trip

Then there’s the Algarve from the water.

The coastline looks rather different from the deck of a boat: hidden caves, quiet coves, long stretches of golden sand and, on a clear day, a horizon that seems to go on indefinitely.

Everyone who makes an eligible booking will have the opportunity to enter our boat trip competition.

To take part, simply tell us why you and your group would love to experience an Algarve boat trip. It might be a birthday celebration, a long-awaited family reunion, a first visit to the region or simply the one holiday memory you’ve always wanted to make.

Our judging panel will read every eligible entry and select the answer it considers the most thoughtful, memorable or compelling.

There’s no need to write an essay. We’d simply like to hear the story behind your trip.

How to book

The offer is available on new bookings in an exclusive SandyBlue property. Stays confirmed between 13th and 20th July 2026, for eligible stays taking place during July or August 2026.

Browse our available Algarve villas or speak to our local team, who can help you find the right property for your dates, group and holiday plans.

Once your booking has been confirmed, we’ll explain how to arrange your breakfast and transfer and how to submit your boat trip competition entry.

Summer availability is naturally becoming more limited, particularly for the most popular dates and locations. If an Algarve escape has been on your mind, this is a very good moment to take another look.

Your villa is waiting. Breakfast and the journey are on us, and a few unforgettable hours on the water might be too.
